Why should the likes of Obama and Ron Paul get all the fun of being on campaign? 

Thanks to Rachael Harrie of Rach Writes many bloggers and authors will be participating in a campaign to support each other from August 22 to October 31.

I’ve never participated in anything like this before so I’m game to get going.  If you’d like to join you’d better hurry and sign up because last I looked there were already over 100 participants.  From what I hear, it’s a blast!

To introduce myself to my fellow campaigners:  My name is Angela Yuriko Smith.  Last May 2011 I published a paranormal fiction titled End of Mae.  I’ve had a lot of fun testing creative marketing techniques on End of Mae, the results of which I just published in my second book: No Money Marketing: All You Need Is Like.  My marketing had to be virtually free and effective.  And go beyond the usual ‘use Twitter and Facebook’ advice ;p

Right now I live in Australia with my husband but we are preparing right now to go to the US.  I’m excited to be joining the campaign trail!  ;D

  1. Hi Angela! I’ve never participated in anything like this before either. In fact, I just started my blog last week! Ha, no time like the present though.

  2. Hi Angela, Greetings from a fellow campaigner. (This is so much more fun than running for office, isn’t it?) I’m intrigued by the No Money Marketing concept, as it is within my budget! I look forward to learning more about you and your writing.

    1. So much more fun, and we don’t have to feel ashamed of ourselves ;p No Money is my favorite price so we’re together on that – I’ll be doing a Q&A session on Sept 2nd at Goodreads if you want to drop by. The info is under my events tab. Good to meet you!

  3. Welcome to the campaign. I read some of your other posts and saw how you hit really high on sales charts on Amazon. Congratulations and I hope you are the next kindle millionaire 🙂 I look forward to being inspired by your success.

  4. Hi, I’m an old hand at this and it is fun while it lasts. Great to meet and learn a little about you. Have followed you on twitter (@pichetsinparis) and liked you on fb.

  5. Hi there 🙂 Congratulations on End of Mae – sooo exciting! Looking forward to seeing No Money Marketing do just as well (maybe even better!) I’ve joined your subscriber list 🙂

    1. Thanks so much Jolene for subscribing and stopping by! So far the marketing book has already left End of Mae in the dust and completely surprised me so while it lasts I’m enjoying it & thx for joining me on the ride ;D

  6. I’ a newbie in the campaign, and thought I should introduce myself. I write short stories, essays and YA, so I look forward to working with you!

  7. Hello – a fellow YA campaigner stopping by. I was so excited to hear about your newest marketing book. It sounds great – helpful & timely. Can’t wait to learn more about your expertise!

  8. Fellow campaigner trolling around to see what’s out there. It’s really amazing how much we all have in common in some ways. Let me (prematurely) welcome you back to the US. I’m a native Jerseyan – small world. Looking forward to your posts and will be picking up a copy of your book – what’s better than ideas for free marketing!
